Summary:

The case illustrates how profit maximization goals have the potential to influence ethical decision making. Abby, the assistant director of manufacturing, has the opportunity to enhance both company profitability and reduce the purchase costs of a product for the brother of George Smilee, the director of manufacturing. However, that decision would shift costs to another customer, Breeland Ltd. Being a CMA, Abby is appropriately using the IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practice as a guide to the proper course of action. The case requires students to assume Abby's position. In so doing, students are challenged to investigate the appropriate course of action. Students are asked to use the IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practice when answering the questions posed and in deciding upon an appropriate course of action for Abby.
